obs OBS Settings Help

[Chikorita]

Hi. Calling out obs users that can help me with this.

(Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section)
I seem to have a problem with my obs settings yet I cannot identify what the problem is.

First. I tried looking on the internet/YouTube for settings that fits me however non seem to be working out, now I'm not 100% sure if its the actual game itself that's causing the problem or It's something I'm missing out.

I'd like to start of streaming at 720p 60fps which is fine for me. I can later upgrade once I get more viewer ship etc.
I ran the auto install wizard, used its settings and custom settings, nothing seems to work.

The problem is:
The game which is running at fullscreen borderless (Display 1) is running fine with no lag/stutter, but once I start the stream, the ingame running on NVENC H.264 Encoder is also running fine but on stream it stutter/lags. Running with the x264 Encoder, ingame lag/stutter and on stream.

OBS Settings:
Auto Install Wizard :
Service: Twitch
Server: Auto (Recommended)
Video Bitrate: 6000
Streaming Encoder: Hardware (NVENC)
Recording Encoder: Hardware (NVENC)
Recording Quality: High Quality, Medium File Size
Base (Canvas) Resolution: 2560 x 1440
Output (Scaked) Resolution: 1280 x 720
FPS: 60

These are my PC Specs :
Intel Core i7 6700k 4.6Ghz OC'd
Graphics Card : Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Asus
RAM : DDR4 Dual 16GB OC'd
Motherboard : Asus Z170-PRO
Display 1 : 2560 x 1440
Display 2 : 1920 x1080

Internet Specs:
Download Speed : 68.47 Mbps
Upload Speed : 16.96 Mbps
Location : UK

 

This is my log file :

I used OBS Log File Analyzer, the problem is ''Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. Enable vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage. If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use''

 

I don't know what steps I need to take from this error message.

Would be great if someone could assist me on this issue, what am I missing, what am I doing wrong etc etc. Thank you

bascially saying your GPU doesnt have enough resources to run NVENC while running the game. Therefore it's telling you to lower GPU load by setting a frame rate cap below what fps you can get. If needed, you will need to drop the settings as well.

Try lowering bitrate

frame rate cap, as in lowering my actual monitor refresh rate down from 144hz to 60hz or use MSI Afterburner to set a frame rate cap?

Tried that already, 2500,3000, 3500 , 4000

non seem to be working. Don't think its a bitrate issue but a GPU Overload issue as stated by Jurrunio

the frame rate cap, not refresh rate (though if you do mind about screen tearing and you cant use adaptive sync, you can reduce refresh rate to the same as your fps cap). How much will depend on the frame rate you have.

I just read what OBS log analyzer said to you 

[Chikorita]

So after the first log I posted, Made changes to what needs to be. Stream is not as lag/stutter as it used to be, but Log Analyzer still gives me the render lag issue, but not critical this time.

This is the new updated log

Also I can feel that frame rate cap I needed to do. Ouch... why OBS.... whyyyy

[Chikorita]

Ok now at this point, I have no idea what to do.... It still gives me render issue...
